The Old Parliament House Limited is a not-for-profit enterprise committed to enriching lives through arts and cultural initiatives. Our practice focuses on building creative communities, connecting arts and business resources and developing sustainable arts spaces.

Do you aspire to be a creative entrepreneur? Or are you already one but are still brimming with ideas? Here is your chance to win SGD10,000!

At this year's Asia on the Edge 2011, creative talents from Asia will have the opportunity to interact with over 100 like-minded creators from around Asia, and showcase their fresh ideas to a distinguished panel of international experts and venture capitalists who can take their concepts to the next level.

Happening at The Arts House from 24 to 25 June, the inaugural Generating Ideas Symposium at Asia on the Edge 2011 will give creative entrepreneurs a chance to win the SGD 10,000 as seed money to develop their concept.

We invite all Asians (of Asian origin or based in Asia) to register their proposals online at http://spaces.org.sg/aote/ which also includes submission rules, fees and other eligibility information.
